You must think I’m someone else, because you said “you guys”…
Imo the Bible is mostly metaphorical…And I agree, the church was man made, and a tool to consolidate power more than teaching the message of Christ…
With regards to Republicans wanting Christian nationalism to guide the government- anyway you slice it there is going to be an ideology that guides the government…If you remove the Jude’s-Christian foundation of the country, you take away individual liberty, and everyone instantly becomes a tool of the state- to do with as they please…
And it just so happens that as the Judeo-Christian foundation recedes, something else will inevitably fill the void…And it just so happens, that right now, we are seeing a Neo-Marxist/Post Modernist ideology that has taken over the guiding of our country…
And unfortunately, it’s an ideology that , unlike Christianity, doesn’t believe in truth, doesn’t believe in science, and seeks to divide society up into different groups, in a never ending struggle of oppressed vs. oppressor…Now, i don’t know about you, but that sounds pretty damn depressing to me…
So, the bottom line is, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side…👍
